As a new mom, I experienced so many wonderful women in my life. At the time I belonged to a church group and we would get together a couple times a month and discuss our family, help each other with stenciling and share recipes. I can’t remember who gave me this recipe, but I hope I thanked them profusely because it is a recipe I make often for my family.
